Algarve Yoga Holidays - yoga breaks retreats

Other meals are self-catered using the excellent and extremely well-equipped kitchens provided in each house. At the end of the week, new friendships will have been forged and bodies will feel stretched.

For many people (like Rachel), it can be a life-changing experience (she decided to begin training to become a teacher after her first holiday in 1993) or for others simply a chance to take a well-earned rest.

Beginners are always welcome on the holidays but there is also plenty of challenge for those with more experience, teachers or trainees. We also are able to offer places for non-participating partners so that they can enjoy the lovely surroundings on offer while you enjoy your yoga classes. Local Portugal residents can join in with the classes but priority is given for space to residents & all site facilities are exclusive to residents only.

The Yoga Holidays

These are scheduled in Spring and Autumn when the beaches are quieter, the scenery majestic but the weather still fine. They give guests a chance for a quick getaway and a chance to discover a different side to Portugal away from the business of the summer.

12th to 16th March - All Levels
29th October to 2nd November - All Levels

The short yoga breaks are 4 nights at Quinta Mimosa arriving on Wednesdays and departing on Sundays. These are fully catered yoga breaks with over 10 hours yoga tuition, optional luxury massages and all in a lovely setting in the hillside above Almancil. They are perfect for those with less time available, family commitments or wishing for a short injection of yoga and relaxation!
